“High Galectin-3 Diseases”

Extensive research on Galectin-3 is rapidly expanding our understanding of chronic, “age-related” diseases. In small amounts, Galectin-3 molecules in the body play a role in growth processes, and are not considered dangerous. But when Galectin-3 levels are elevated beyond normal ranges, they wreak havoc on our systems, causing metastatic cancer, congestive heart failure, debilitating inflammation, fibrosis, organ damage and much more. Every few days, a new scientific paper is published linking excess Galectin-3 in the body with the progression of deadly and debilitating illnesses, from metastatic cancer and congestive heart failure, to diabetes II, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and much more. In May 2011, a groundbreaking Galectin-3 mortality study involving over 8,000 people was presented at a European conference. The results of this study demonstrate that elevated Galectin-3 in the body increased overall mortality three-fold in the general population.  Overall mortality was close to 15% in the group with the highest Galectin-3, compared to only 4-5% in the group with the lowest levels. With the advancement of a simple new Galectin-3 blood test, experts estimate that a new category of diseases known as “High Galectin-3 Diseases” will soon be established, utilizing the Galectin-3 test for screening and analysis.

No Way to Accurately Measure Risk….Until Now

Until now, there has not been an easy or reliable method for people to accurately determine their risks and progression of cancer, heart disease and other life-threatening illness. That’s why the new Galectin-3 test is so a valuable for patients and doctors. Galectin-3 is an active biomarker, which means it is both a major cause, as well as a byproduct, of numerous deadly disease processes. Therefore it is an extremely important biomarker for analyzing the risk and progression of chronic diseases such as heart failure and cancer — essentially any condition related to inflammation, fibrosis, abnormal cellular growth and other detrimental disease processes. It is now clear that testing and blocking the harmful effects of elevated Galectin-3 is critical in protecting against life-threatening conditions.

Modified Citrus Pectin’s Life-Saving Role

This is where Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), derived from citrus peels, plays a vital life-saving role. MCP is the only proven natural Galectin-3 inhibitor as demonstrated in published research, with the unique ability to enter the blood stream and block excess Galectin-3 throughout the body. MCP has been extensively researched and shown to to combat cancer growth and metastasis, control inflammation and fibrosis, and effectively reduce cardiovascular disease risks and damage to multiple organs. These important benefits make MCP especially useful during chemotherapy or radiation therapy, as it can help increase effectiveness while reducing the damaging side effects of severe inflammation and fibrosis caused by these conventional cancer treatments.

Most of Modified Citrus Pectin’s life-saving benefits are attributed to its unique ability to enter the blood stream and target excess Galectin-3 molecules, binding to the receptors on the surface of these rogue molecules and effectively blocking them. Regular pectin is unable to achieve these remarkable benefits, due to its relatively large molecular weight and size. The right Modified Citrus Pectin, however, has been enzymatically modified to a very specific molecular weight range and structure, giving it the ability to enter the circulation and actively attack excess Galectin-3 throughout the body. In addition, published research demonstrates that MCP is a powerful immune stimulator as well as a safe chelator of heavy metals and radioactive particles. Modified Citrus Pectin is completely safe and poses no risk of toxic side effects (since it is a fiber, it may cause mild digestive upset at high dosages).

This multitude of scientific and clinically researched benefits make Modified Citrus Pectin one of the most important daily supplements for protecting against chronic illness and promoting long term health. As ongoing research continues to validate and expand this important body of information, Modified Citrus Pectin is earning an esteemed reputation world wide as the first, and so far only, natural ingredient proven to bind and block Galectin-3 throughout the body. If you are concerned about your risks of chronic illness, or are currently battling any of these life-robbing conditions, ask your doctor about the new FDA approved Galectin-3 blood test. And most importantly, include Modified Citrus Pectin into your health program as a safe yet powerful daily health supplement. To learn more about Modified Citrus Pectin, visit www.MCPRecommends.org.

A new blood test that measures circulating levels of Galectin-3 as a risk factor in progressive heart failure is now approved by the FDA and covered by most health insurance. This test can also help to determine risks of damage in other organs including the liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, and others, as well as progression of cancer.

MCP Activates Powerful Immune Responses
Groundbreaking research also demonstrates the ability of a specific form of Modified Citrus Pectin to greatly enhance immune function. During my presentation, I shared a study that shows how a specific type of MCP activated B-cells in a dose-dependent manner, and induced a highly significant dose-dependent activation of T-cytotoxic cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. The NK-cell’s cancer-killing activity was demonstrated against live leukemia cancer cells. The study is published in the journal, BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

MCP for Detoxification
Exposure to heavy metals and environmental toxins is common, and a large number of diseases are known to be related to high levels of heavy metal toxicity. To determine levels of toxicity, a heavy metal body burden analysis is often suggested by doctors. When the toxic burden is high, I recommend a gentle, yet highly effective heavy metal detoxification program using Modified Citrus Pectin. MCP is clinically proven to significantly reduce dangerous heavy metals, including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, without lowering levels of essential minerals.

The Medical Community’s Growing Demand for Proven Natural Therapies
These new discoveries give Modified Citrus Pectin greater potential in the prevention and treatment of many serious health conditions for which there are currently limited or no treatments available. The information presented in this lecture generated significant interest and enthusiasm among A4M attendees. The overwhelmingly positive feedback I received from doctors and practitioners signals a growing demand in medicine for research-based natural therapies that can help fight our most serious health conditions, safely and effectively.

Synergistic Effects of MCP with Poly-Botanical Formulas
Another study presented highlighted MCP’s positive effects against breast and prostate cancer cells, this time using Modified Citrus Pectin in combination with two of my formulas – one for breast cancer and one for prostate cancer. Results show that MCP significantly boosts the anti-cancer actions of both of these formulas. This new research was led by the Cancer Research Laboratory at Indiana University Health.

This innovation developed by Dr. Argentine Jorge Yanovsky, sanitarian renowned physician and president of the Argentine Forum on Biotechnology, is the creation of low-cost technology that allows the drying of food, whether meat, fruits or vegetables.

This is a method known as freeze drying, which expels water from the food without this loses some of its nutrients and making it easier storage.

In fact, a plate of food might be ready to be eaten with just a few minutes of cooking, which could be a revolution in the concept of healthy food as it does not need to invest a lot of time preparing a balanced and tasty menu at a time.

During his presentation at the Argentine Congress of Nutrition held in 2009, Yanovky spoke to reporters and told some of the background of this process, going back to the Inca culture.

“The Incas, taking advantage of low temperature and humidity levels at certain times of the year, developed a method for drying the potato when frozen, so the water will not miss the potato volume, leaving it porous. This is called ‘Chun’, continues to occur in the Andean region and is the first demonstration in human history that it is possible to dry, cold food, “he said at the time.

Currently, Yanovsky is working, among other programs, with a social work of public employees in the Chaco advising healthy foods, while the INTA (National Institute of Agricultural Technology) is working to expand its freeze-drying technique.

The bill is made from a single piece of smooth polymer, and in certain places – like on the large “100,” the words “Bank of Canada” and the shoulders of Sir Robert Borden (former Canadian primer minster) the ink is raised, adding multiple layers of security.

On the right is a large transparent “window,” which replicates the main image of the prime minister and below it includes a building.

But by far the coolest (and arguably hardest feature to replicate) is the maple leaf window. With a light source coming in from the other side, if you raise the window close to your eye you’ll see hidden numbers that correspond to the value of the bill.

The Bank of Canada, which announced the new bills this summer and began phasing them last Monday, says the notes will last twice as long as paper money and can also be recycled.

Canada plans to introduce $50 polymer notes in March and then $5 and $10 bills in 2013.

The Importance of an Integrative Approach
As a holistic physician focused on treating cancer and chronic illness, I have been using MCP in my clinical practice for more than 15 years. Since Modified Citrus Pectin safely and powerfully addresses so many serious health concerns, it is an ideal tool in integrative medicine. This is particularly true for integrative cancer therapy, where the disease must be attacked simultaneously from multiple angles. By blocking Galectin-3?s cancer-promoting effects, reducing inflammation, chelating heavy metals, and providing powerful selective immune benefits, including active NK cell induction, MCP is quickly becoming known as one of the most important nutrients in the fight against cancer and other serious health conditions.

I was so pleased that my presentation was enthusiastically received by doctors, researchers and other health professionals from around the world. The significant interest generated by this breakthrough research signals the growing demand for successful, science-based integrative health solutions worldwide.

During my visit, I had the opportunity to tour several leading cancer clinics in Germany and Austria with Dr. Moss. The trip provided me with a rare opportunity to learn, teach and collaborate with the world’s leading integrative oncologists on ideas for a better future in cancer care. The future of cancer care is, without a doubt, in the true integrative model. At the conference and at the clinics, I shared the energetic and philosophical principles of integrative medicine in oncology and how to apply these principles to cancer prevention and treatment. This included the latest body of research on Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) and my novel polybotanical formulas in suppressing the growth and proliferation of cancer.

Research on Modified Citrus Pectin and Polybotanicals
During Medical Week, I shared the recent research on the role of Modified Citrus Pectin and polybotanicals in the treatment of cancer. I explained specifically how MCP directly attacks cancer by binding to galectin-3 molecules (“sticky” surface molecules that promote angiogenesis and metastasis) and blocking their ability to promote cancer cell growth and metastasis, among other harmful effects.

Over the last decade, a large body of peer-reviewed research has revealed that many of our most serious health concerns are associated with elevated levels of galectin-3 molecules. Modified Citrus Pectin – derived from citrus peels – is the only proven natural galectin-3 inhibitor and thus offers a powerful, all-natural way to address elevated galectin-3 for cancer, metastasis and other chronic life-threatening illnesses.

In today’s environment, many drug companies offer a different story – promoting a variety of different drugs in an effort to “manage” this shockingly common condition. However, ongoing research has shown that there are a number of safe, natural botanicals that can help you control your blood sugar levels without suffering from the numerous side effects of popular medications.

An isolate from one powerful Indian botanical – Gymnema sylvestre (GS) – was tested on mouse and human beta cells, which are the pancreatic cells that are responsible for producing insulin in the body. The findings showed that increased exposure lead to a significant rise in insulin secretion in-vitro—meaning that this unique natural compound could play an important role in the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes.

These results confirm that this powerful botanical has distinguished Gymnema as an essential addition to any natural protocol for diabetes prevention. Centuries of use in Ayurvedic medicine also support its safety and effectiveness as a potent blood sugar-reducer. It is important to remember, however, that while supplements can make a major difference in your fight against diabetes, they cannot take you all the way. The most effective prevention methods include a combination of a balanced, whole foods diet and regular moderate activity to reduce inflammation and help you manage a healthy body weight.

These positive lifestyle adjustments will help to keep you healthy in the long-run without requiring a lifetime of dependence on statins, metformin, and other drugs to achieve real, lasting results.
